Combining different Vf strips on the same Constant Current Driver

Hi!

I am making my first small build and a warning on chilledgrowlights.com has me questioning my plan. Their warning says "Note: Combing both veg & flower boards in a single fixture is not suggested due to a difference in forward voltage"

Might this only apply to constant voltage drivers?

I had planned the following:
2 x Growcraft 20in LED Board ~ 88v @ 1400mA
2 x PLC Photo Boost Strip ~ 54v @ 1400mA
142v total on Meanwell HLG - 185H -C1400b (143 Vf max)

Is this OK or no?

Thanks!

You can do it in series but make sure your calculations are correct
